Another walk around Rosny Point

Monday , 30 December 2013

Once we only went on the track round Rosny Point for a bike ride, but on recent times it has been as a walk to find some caches. Today we went from Montagu Bay to Kangaroo Bluff which makes it close to a 10k return walk. On the drive to the start we stopped off at Cornelian Bay to finalise a cache there, so that added a further 1.5 k to the day.

Lottie's Lookout #2

This had gone missing on our previous visit a year ago, but we got it quickly today.

Whats the point?

Sue spotted this from about 10 metres off. We approached by going down a track and along the shore and returned by going up direct to the track.

Dance of the Bee.

Before arriving we read some of the logs and realised this would be tricky and it was; just too tricky for us and like AlbyDangles before us it had us beaten. We looked about thinking now what would BlueBearyK have been collecting (see log 5/8/13) and what would DnA! Consider as trash (log 20/8/13) and at the same time trying to read something into OldSaint's rhyme (log 10/8/12). We had a few thoughts but drew a blank on all in the end.

Troublesome Trucks

Two muggles in cars both eating lunch right near the cache site meant we left this for the return walk. This time it was Sue who crouched down and spotted it and then was able to get back upright without her knees complaining; just shows what finding a geocache does for you.

Ship to Shore

Muggles were about including one in a car just near GZ but fortunately all were gone by the time we began the search. The container ring was looking a bit rusty and there is now just one spot left on the log.

Off to the Thumbs

Image
Wednesday 27 June 2012 Well the weather was just ideal for a bushwalk to the Three Thumbs and to collect a few geocaches during the trip. However, the geocaching part looked a bit shaky as Peter’s GPS did not display any in the area. A later check at home showed the records were on the GPS and when overwritten with a new copy they displayed OK; puzzling! All was not lost because Barad Bunch had notes on the caches and the grid on his GPS. This enabled us to locate the one near the cars. After morning tea at the lookout over Maria Island we commenced the walk to the Three Thumbs. Shady spots had plenty of frost but a fair bit of the way was along the tops of the main ridge and in the sun. Eventually we w ere on the highest peak, presumably the third Thumb and also what we presumed would be the hiding placed of the “ Three Thumbs Up ” geocache. But when Barad checked his GPS it indicated it was over 400 metres away on the peak previous climbed and descended from. Oh well that would have

Frogs and Water

We knew that " Swimming Hole " was a cache not far from home and finally decided to seek it. Earlier in the week we had picked up " Spot the Frog ", a moveable cache found under the Geocache Australia website and needed to deposit the little fellow somewhere. As frogs like water and this one had spent a few months on a dry hillside it seemed appropriate to lodge near a creek, so finding "Swimming Hole" was combined with the task. We could work out the starting spot even without a GPS and soon had the next stage entered in the GPS. Much to Peter's surprise it led us back down rather than up the creek and we ended beside a fence. A bit of searching and head scratching saw us give up for now and head off to lodge our little froggy. On return home Sue scanned through past logs and discovered several people also ended up where we did and then found this was several metres out. This has encouraged us to head back to the GZ soon and to ignore the GPS for on

Freycinet Bushwalk

3 – 5 October 2012 As we were going on a bushwalk to Freycinet Peninsula the potential geocache finds in the area were checked and several were close to our route. We went for three days, camping at Cooks Beach for both nights and heading down to a rocky peak beyond Passage Beach. Graham (Graham51) was with us although he took the longer return option over Mount Graham where he also managed to locate a cache on his journey. On the way back in the car we picked up a couple in the region. Top of the Pass Our first for the day, located by Graham, and although a few muggles were about none took much notice of us,   Half empty or half full ? We dropped our packs and with two people holding GPS’s and three heading to GZ it was surprising how little attention the muggles paid to our activity. One looked up for a while but soon turned back to look at the scenery elsewhere.   Blue Champagne Our objective for the days bushwalk was the southern peak on the Freycinet Peninsula above point Geo
